The Sweet Service Award goes to Wagyu Direct, and its owner Garth Angus, who kindly delivered some Wagyu hamburger patties as well as a Wagyu steak to my home. I met Garth at an event at the Rare Grill, for which he supplied the steaks and mince used to make tartare, steaks, and mince balls. The patties I shared with Gary Peterson, who accompanied me to the Rare Grill event. The hamburgers which I made and the steak which I ate over two days were beyond delicious.
The Sour Service Award goes to King Cake Party City Gardens, when I went to buy balloons for an event last Saturday. I had been to the shop a week earlier, asking for prices of balloons as well as party hats. One of their staff dutifully wrote everything down for me, checking how many I required of each. When I came to buy the balloons, I was charged extra for the weights needed to hold them on the table, not having been quoted for them, and was told that they only had 2 party hats instead of the 11 that I needed, and that I should have pre-ordered them, which I was not told on my first visit. While the location of the shop is convenient in Gardens, its service is appalling!
